My apartment is located downtown in the historic district.
The residence was built in the early eighteen hundreds and quite a few features are still original.
The beach house is entirely beautiful however a good deal of work. It is much harder to maintain wood siding rather than vinyl. It’s a lot more difficult to heat a apartment with lots of small rooms, extremely high ceilings, large windows and no HVAC duct. The beach house is not regularly insulated and the windows leak air. Even if the two of us wanted to tear down walls and install a duct system, we’re not allowed. Because it is a historical residence, the two of us have to get approval to make any major changes. We’re not permitted to quickly paint the beach house pink, pave the driveway or put on a metal roof. The people I was with and I need to preserve the architectural history and integrity of the home. The people I was with and I weren’t happy trying to manage temperature control with a bunch of space heaters, box fans and window a/cs. When I petitioned to have a high-velocity Heating, Ventilation and A/C plan installed, I argued that this style of plan was a lot less noticeable than the window a/cs. A high-velocity plan uses miniature, bendy ducts that can be snaked through existing walls without causing any disfigure. The supply and return vents are only multiple inches in diameter and can be installed just about anywhere. They blend right into the decor. The actual heating and cooling components are so compact that they can be installed into a closet or attic. It took a lot of meetings, deliberation and paperwork, however the two of us finally got approval to have the high velocity Heating, Ventilation and A/C plan installed. It is such a pleasure to have access to centralized temperature control.
